NJ 11th for Change: Fridays without Frelinghuysen

Due to fire codes and the popularity of this weekly event, we are only permitted upstairs 15 at a time to go talk with Rodney’s office staff. While people wait outside, they often make new friends or catch up with friends they’ve already made at these weekly visits, bring signs to hold if desired, and sometimes play music.
